Gaming

I had a lute, and a flute, and a drum. I sold them all for gold, lovely lovely gold mwahahahahaha 

I now have a new Lydia. I'm not sure how useful he'll be considering I just beat him to a pulp with my bare hands (which were cover in plate armour). I suppose if Man-Lydia dies I can just replace him too 

My Lydia just died... for the second or third time this crypt. I think I will resume tomorrow...

I probably should have stocked up on potions before going in. Not that I'm not already carrying about 40 kilos worth of them already, but I think I could use some more healing potions.

Btw, I'm supposed to test out some scrolls for a friend, and when I do, Lydia kills me, so I need to test them alone. But I'm not sure I know of a nice little crypt full of low level undead that I can manage by myself and that I haven't already cleared out. Although I guess they respawn eventually?

I'll have to dream on this. Night night.

Man-Lydia (for that is his name  ) is so dumb he's already got himself stuck on a rock instead of walking round it. Later he stepped in a bear trap... twice, and walked into another trap where a log hit him in the face. Luckily because he was hit in the head he took no damage   He is also not as good with a bow as Lydia-Lydia as he already shot me once 

I am now a thief (even though I didn't want to be one). 

I wanted to be a thief and I still haven't pickpocketed anyone or stolen anything much. Except from bandits.

My Lydia-Lydia wasn't very clever yesterday, before she died several times, as she nearly died another several times due to using one of those spiked gate traps to kill draugr. I stayed out of it, which is presumably what kept Lydia alive...

I have now changed the gender of my mannequins, and changed them to nords, so that a buggy helmet would show up.

I also tried killing those last draugr deathlords but failed. I tried keeping Lydia out of the way but apparently "Wait here" doesn't suffice if she perceives that I am threatened. There are things at the location in question that should help with those guys but with Lydia constantly getting in the way, it just doesn't work out that way...

So, I hauled the loot back out, then fast travelled back and forth 4 times to get it to one of my houses, and then I decided to just ride instead of going a fifth time, so that's where I am now at. Trying to find the right road...

That mannequin now wears the assassin's armour AGAIN! Except on it's feet where it has elven boots. The elven boots that were enchanted but now are not.

*sigh*
I hope those shrouded armour pieces are valuable so I can at least make money off of the darn thing.

It does seem mannequins are very glitched, though. Probably best to never use them for "safe keeping" of items one likes...

Edit: And why is it Ma'ik always appears just before and/or after I am attacked? I know I saw him talk to one of the attackers once.  

You obviously need to ditch Lydia and get a Man-Lydia. Man-Lydia is far too dumb to get himself killed. It took me ages to get into a Dwemer place because he would run away up the hill and into the distance instead of just walking through the entrance way. I ended up getting him to wait outside and told Horse to keep an eye on him while I went in and did the place on my own. Then I walked through experiencing flashbacks to the nightmare of Morrowind where I had to make several trips to clear the place out because Dwemer stuff is all insanely heavy. I will need to return there at some point in the future.

I think the repeated punches to his head when we first met gave him sever brain damage.
